Newsletter Autumn 2014

Chairman’s message

A short note at the beginning of the newsletter to welcome our new secretary Haf Hughes and to wish her well in her new post. I would like to thank our
outgoing secretary Emily Addis for her hard work over the past years and to wish her well. Hopefully we will all be aware that there will be a transition
period that always comes with the retirement of one secretary and the appointment of another. We are aware that there is a lot of work to do with the
organisation of the AGM, preparation of the flock book, ewe lamb register and of course the ram registrations and therefore I hope that you will all be
patient as we find our feet and get the paper work in place as soon as we possibly can.
